[edit] Guide to parameters

All parameters optional — delete any parameters that are not applicable, too narrow, etc.

Parameter Explanation
Name Commonly-used Anglophone version of the subject's name — default is identical to the article's title.
These parameters apply to an image of the subject, if available.
Img Enter *.jpg or other image name;
Omit the namespace identifier (Image:) from image name;
Do not enclose image name in brackets (i.e. omit "[[" and "]]").
Img_capt Enter a caption for the image. Try to include the date of the portrait and the name of the artist or photographer.
Img_size Image size, only if it is smaller than 220 pixels width. Do not use "px" after specifying the size.
Landscape Enter the value yes when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels. Otherwise delete this parameter.
These parameters provide info on the subject.
They appear under the header "Composer information".
Birth_name Use only if different from name in header
Alias Enter any commonly used aliases or nicknames
Born Enter birth date and place information using the format: [date] <br><small>[place]</small> ;
Please do not insert flag icons — they are often anachronistic or otherwise inaccurate, and may break the template;
Link dates as appropriate, per WP:DATE;
Use approximations or ranges for dates where appropriate;
Use the templates {{Birth date}} (if dead) or {{Birth date and age}} (if alive).
Baptized Use as a substitute for the Born parameter where appropriate; use the same format as above; but DO NOT use "birth date" templates.
Died Enter death date and place information, using the same format as in Born;
Use the template {{Death date and age}} as appropriate.
Flourished Use as a substitute for Born and Died where appropriate.
Notable_family e.g. the Mendelssohns, the Gabrieli's, the Bach's, etc. Link only family notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article.
Era e.g. Renaissance, Baroque, etc.
Styles/schools Any stylistic label(s), school(s), or movement(s) commonly associated with the composer;
e.g. Franco-Flemish school, Verismo, Les Six, Futurism, Bebop, etc.
Teachers One or two notable (notable enough to merit their own Wikipedia article) people with whom the subject studied extensively.
Students One or two notable composers or others (notable enough to merit their own Wikipedia article) who studied extensively with the subject
Collaborators Notable collaborators. e.g. Boito for Verdi, Diaghilev for Stravinsky, Peter Sellars for John Adams, etc;
List only those who worked extensively with the composer, and who are notable enough in their own right to merit a Wikipedia article.
Employers e.g. the Roman Catholic church; the Hapsburg monarchy, etc. (for those composers strongly associated with a particular employer/patron)
Other_occupations e.g. "Pianist" for Liszt, "Insurance agent" for Ives, etc.
Principal_genres e.g. "Opera" for Verdi; "Symphony, Song" for Mahler, etc.;
Delete parameter for more wide-ranging composers.
Notable_works List one or two works on which the subject's fame rests;
Primarily for "one-(or two-)hit wonders", rather than for more prolific composers;
For example, an infobox for Engelbert Humperdinck might list Hänsel und Gretel in this parameter.

Obviously no actual article will use all parameters; this is just for testing. See below for examples of how the box might look in practice.
